Jihad Watch : Director of the Middle East Centre Eugene Rogan said: “It’s not just
about sexual violence. For some students it’s just another way for
Europeans to gang up against a prominent Muslim intellectual. We must
protect Muslim students who believe and trust in him, and protect that
trust.”

Eugene Rogan would ordinarily be a shoo-in for the Islamopanderer of
the Year award, but this year he has such stiff competition that his
victory is by no means assured. Apparently now at one of the foremost universities of the Western
world, you can do essentially anything, commit any crime, and suffer no
consequences, as long as disciplinary action against you might upset
Muslims.

“Don accused of rape to continue teaching,” by Emily Lawford, Cherwell, November 3, 2017:Students at the Oxford Middle East Centre have reacted in
anger to the University’s response to the mounting accusations of rape
against Islamic professor Tariq Ramadan, accusing senior figures of
acting “as if nothing had happened”. Ramadan is currently being investigated by French authorities over
two allegations of rape, sexual assault, violence and harassment.
Ramadan has described the allegations as a “campaign of lies” and said
he is suing the alleged victims for “slander”.

Since the first allegation of rape surfaced two weeks ago, the
professor has reportedly taught a seminar in Oxford and been seen
“laughing” with faculty members. In response to requests from students, senior figures in the faculty
held a meeting on Tuesday “to address implications for student welfare
arising from the allegations”. The faculty told students they intend Ramadan to continue to both
tutor and supervise on his return to Oxford from Qatar – although
students may ask for another faculty member to be in the room if they
wish.

At the meeting, held at St Antony’s College, several students
expressed anger at the “lack of communication” from the University,
claiming they had heard of the allegations by “word of mouth” without
any acknowledgement from the department. Director of the Middle East Centre Eugene Rogan repeatedly apologised
to students for taking ten days to respond to the allegations, blaming
the delay on the fact that the controversy was happening in another
country with a different legal system.
